VR4 top speed.

My car came with: electronically controlled exhaust (electric potato), electronically controlled suspension (good thing, switchable under push button, also under extreme handling conditions it would 'firm up'), digital a/c control/display, 4ws, abs, power all, etc.
The 3000gt's also had the active aero, doesn't work all that well, and since the banana spoiler is the most aerodynamically proven one (or so I've heard) kind of a waste.
fun cars, heavy as hell, but fun.

The active exhaust is garbage, but everthing I've read, including first hand accounts and mitsu reports, indicates that the rear spoiler does increase downforce when it's tilted.

And yes 180 is reasonable with the right mods. I clocked a max speed of 169.6 on my stealth via GPS with the same basic mods as Swanny.

There's defintely a lot of gadgets in a 3S. Why do you think they're so heavy?

I've recently realized that I enjoy driving my 1G DSM with a 16G on the street and to work a lot more then my Stealth. And I think the reason is that a 3S doesn't feel like it's fast until you're doing triple digits (which I don't really hit in rush hour). The 3S just isolates you from the road so much better and you have a lot more confidence in the handling, it makes it a boring street car unless you're foolish enough to constantly run at twice the speed limit.

On the other hand 80mph in my 1G feels fast (a lot has to do with the crappy tires and worn out suspension). The 16G is laggy (comparitively) and hits all at once, where the small little turbos in the stealth and the extra torque make power delivery a lot smoother and less noticable then being thrown back when the 16G hits. Plus the weight difference is really noticable when driving the two back to back.

lol, i've noticed the same with the auto im rockin now.
It 'feels' fast cause its a lot well, less of a car when it comes to high end. Speeds actually feel 80mph when you traveling at it, instead of the 30mph it feels like in the stealth.
That car wasn't 'exciting' unless you were sliding through a corner at 2x the speed or cruising along the highway at 140+mph.
